Hello everyone,
I have a GE Washer model # GCWN5050M0WS and I am seeing the error code of 6 flashes. I put my multimeter to the mode shifter and it read 68 ohms, open. It seems as if the motor isn't even engaging. I'm unsure if it is the motor, the mode shifter, or both.

I had a customer having the exact problem on a 1 1/2 year old ge washer . We looked for fuse but none to be found. Doesn't show one on schematic. Could never get it to start after filling. My educated guess the problem is the board on the motor.

i've read a couple posts with similar problems. got the top off and see a panel with a light. nothing flashing but the washer fills, clicks and keeps moving through cycle w/o agitating. the belt looks new and is firmly in place. what next? thank you

Some models have a fuse for the motor that you may have blown. If the light that was blinking was red you donít have a fuse. If it was green you have a fuse. If the fuse is blown the light will no longer blink. The fuse is an in-line fuse in the group of wires to the right of the tub. If the fuse isnít bad or you donít have a fuse my guess is your motor is bad. (This is especially true if the light no longer blinks) however the short could have also damaged the control.
